dbt-validate

dbt-validate is a skill for Claude Code from sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo. It costs 151 tokens per session (3,334 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checker for one dbt model file or schema file, using shared dbt-quality rules. dbt is a tool for defining and testing data transformations; a model is a query-based transformation in a dbt project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate or lint a single model, investigate save-time validation hooks, and understand suggestions using the same rule IDs and fixes as the broader dbt checks.
Why use it?
It gives focused feedback while reviewing or saving one file, without requiring a whole-project audit. It also helps diagnose editor checks that run at save time.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dbt-validate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 253 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dbt Model Validation

Run the model-scoped rules of the shared dbt-quality engine against one file. Same rules, same IDs, and same remediation text as dbt-audit — a different scope, not a different rulebook.

Routing

User intent Surface
"Check this model" / a save-time hook fired dbt-validate — this skill
"Populate the Problems panel" / CI gate dbt-lint — whole project, compiler-style output
"Audit my project" / "assess this estate" dbt-audit skill — all rules plus HTML report
dbt-validate dbt-lint dbt-audit
Scope One model file A project or path A project, or an estate
Rules Model-scoped only Model-scoped All rules
Output Suggestions to stderr One line per suggestion to stdout suggestions.json plus HTML
Typical trigger A save, or one file under review Editor task, CI A review, an assessment, after dbt build

Rules that need more than one file are reported as skipped, never as passing. SSC-EWI-DBTSQL0001 decides between a CTE and an ephemeral model by fingerprinting the same subquery across every model, and fragmentation is a property of the estate — one file cannot answer either. If a user asks "is this model clean?", the accurate answer is "clean on everything checkable from one file," and the skipped list states what was not covered.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
